A member asked:
My spoon went through the garbage disposal and i washed it after but ate off of it and i think it had metal shaving on it and i swallowed some will it harm me at all or what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The metal shavings would transit your body and exit in your poop in 3-4 days. Typical metal spoons are made of metal that is not dissolved during digestion and does not cause a toxic reaction.
